Find a Doctor for Discectomy

Discectomy is a surgical procedure to treat weakness, numbness or pain in the leg caused by a herniated or slipped disc.

A discectomy is performed to alleviate sciatica, a condition that occurs when the soft gel inside the disc that sits between two vertebrae in the spinal column ruptures and presses on the nerves that run along the spine. Discectomy removes the soft part of the damaged disc, alleviating pressure on the nerve (decompression), allowing it to heal.

Discectomy, microdiscectomy and laminectomy are commonly used spinal decompression surgery procedures.

A discectomy is performed by an orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon.
